John B: FRIDAY CREW: The Final Reel - the whole lot
Its been a great winters painting again.
I managed to exceed my target. I reached the heady heights of 529 gainst my target of 400 - both I think were more than last year although I painted more units/pieces in AHPC14.
I also yet again got distracted by the theme and again started modelling homebuilds........
NOTE TO SELF: if you want to paint more stop making models!
I got plenty of variety in this year
I suppose the big red space ship was the most satisfying - my red dwarf!
Then again I have made progress on my Schleswig Holstein Wars figures. Unfortunately a load of artillery missed the cut Martijn as my holiday break was a case of bad timing.
Last but not least I created two backgrounds for displays - as you do!
Heres to AHPC16 and the challenge that keeps surprising me.
Go Forth and Paint. Till next time.

A fine Challenge John, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg
DeleteI really dig your scratch built space craft - they turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Codsticker - they surprised me.
DeleteYep, your spaceships are ace. Well done John!
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt - who'd have thought a painting challenge had me making models again! makes me think of a certain Carlsberg advert but I am showing my age now.
DeleteGreat use of the (detergent?) bottles! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteHi Dallas thanks - confession time - two types of UK milk milk bottles in play, giving different engine piping (handles grips) hence the "Klim" class status which actually sounds a nice SciFi word
DeleteI loved seeing your work John, and those spaceships are brilliant. Looking forward to seeing you in December! Perhaps then we will get some steam up after all?
ReplyDeleteThanks Emjenic, yes I think thats my scifi moment satisfied for now. The "steam" situation is that I hope we have another round of "book returns" or "limbo" come december 2025 and also because I will be able to squeeze something into the 200th anniversary of the British Steam Railway, normally reckoned to be the Stockton to Darlington Railway opening in 1825 even though the steamers broke down and need to be replaced with horses :)
ReplyDeleteI love that the spaceships have convenient carrying handles! Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat work John, loved your spaceships
ReplyDeleteSome great prohects John, quality over quantity for sure!
